IMHO Linux simply don't not need this kind of utility, because:
1) The system simply works as is. I.e, do you need a defrag for ext2? 2) A Unix-like system is highly configurable and programmable per-se. Do you need a special tool to schedule an operation at a certain time?
Of course, if you intend that Linux could profit from a nice graphical tool which launches a disk check or a cron configuration utility with a picture of doctor with a stethoscope, you could do it with Gnome and/or KDE libs.
